Reptiila Charging Handle

Reptilia is launching the new Puller AR-15 charging handle. This new AR-15 component was built at the request of a military end user, and is engineered to meet the demands of professionals who operate in high-stress environments, whether on deployment, in training or at the range.

The Puller is constructed from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with MIL-STD Type III, Class 2 hard anodizing. Created for the stress of combat, the Puller delivers the strength, precision, and reliability shooters expect from Reptilia. It has an ambidextrous, low-profile design that reduces snag points when carried or deployed, while still remaining easy to manipulate under pressure or while wearing gloves.

"The Puller was born from direct end-user feedback and built to perform in the toughest conditions," said Eric Burt, president and design lead at Reptilia. “We focused on simplicity, durability, and ergonomics—just what you need, and nothing you don’t.”

Puller AR-15 Charging Handle Features:

  • Ambidextrous design for left- and right-handed operation
  • Machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum
  • MIL-STD type III, class 2 hard anodized finish
  • Compatible with all AR-15/M16 pattern uppers
  • Made in the USA
  • Backed by Reptilia’s Lifetime Warranty

The Puller is available in black with FDE (Flat Dark Earth) soon to follow. Both charging handles have an MSRP of $99.95. For more information on this new AR-15 component or other products from Reptilia, visit reptiliacorp.com.
